The gold Sovereign is the Royal Mints flagship coin with over billion sovereign's said to have been minted in its long mintage life. The 2017 has an additional privy mark as an acknowledgement of the 200th anniversary of the modern sovereign. Each coin is struck in 22 carat gold to the weight of 7.988g which has a purity of 916.7 gold totaling to just under a 1/4 oz per coin. These coins are fantastic value for money; they are always closest to spot and by far the easiest to flip when the time comes to sell. The coins diameter is 22.05mm and are shipped in capsules from the mint. If you buy from another source, it is unlikely to arrive in a capsule. I hope someday to fill a tube of these but that is a pipedream at the minute.

This is one of those special coins that everybody in the UK knows. Most people will have no idea what a silver panda, lunar, kooks ect are, some will know what a Britannia is, but everyone in the UK knows a gold sovereign is worth money. I have messed up my silver stack by buying everything and anything I wanted, now I have a big headache when it comes time to sell and get max premium. With gold, I will try to only stack sovereigns. They are beautiful, cheap to buy, easy to flip and the thought of having 25 sovereign's so I can own a full tube gives me a semi :) I would buy 4 sovereign's over an oz coin/bar anyday of the week.
The coin minted all over the World
The British sovereign has been minted all over the world. Because gold is heavy and transportation has only got easier from planes being invented, it was cheaper to open a new Royal mint refinery in countries that are part of the commonwealth. Below is some information i found about everywhere the coins have minted.

Actual Sovereign diameter's
I might be getting the gold bug. Maybe buying some gold in the future will help me with my stackitis. I was diagnosed with the rare disease at Pheli Mint Lab's and they told me i had to get at least 20 oz's a month to keep it at bay. They also advised me buy little and often, this got me worried and explained to the scientist's that my avg per oz would be ruined. They told me to clam down and gave me some silver foil to play with. After i calmed down, the scientists's told me they were working on a cure and needed genie pig's for experiment's. It was alot to take in, they gave me a 1/4oz libertad and sent me on my way. I still have to tell the wife our life's have now changed because to rare disease Stackitish
